A six-part series about antimicrobial resistance (AMR) or “superbugs”. The World Health Organisation has warned that we are headed towards a post-antibiotic era, in which common infections could become life-threatening. Rise Of The Superbugs tells the scary (but solvable) story of superbugs. It takes us inside our medicine cupboards, waterways, hospitals, backyards, the past and the future. It reveals where the media has gone wrong in telling the superbug story and why we need to retell it.
